1981 Cheoy Lee 43 Pilot House

The Cheoy Lee 43 Pilot House is a fiberglass motor sailor designed by Robert Perry and built by the renowned Cheoy Lee Shipyard in Hong Kong. At 43 feet with a 13-foot beam, she features a canoe stern and true pilot house with 180-degree visibility, allowing comfortable operation whether motoring or sailing. The design emphasizes seaworthiness and comfort in challenging conditions, with substantial interior volume and ample storage throughout.

Below decks, the yacht offers three cabins and two heads. The forward master stateroom contains a queen bed and private head with shower. Two aft cabins—a double to starboard and single to port—share a head, providing flexible accommodation for guests or crew. Old-growth teak interior with varnished finish defines the accommodations throughout.

Propulsion comes from a six-cylinder Lehman diesel engine rated at 120 horsepower, with cruising speed around 8 knots. A 5-kilowatt generator supports ship systems under sail or at anchor. Engine and generator access are straightforward, located below the pilot house floor and via the starboard aft cabin. On deck, the mainsail and genoa are roller-furling for easy handling, with provisions for a staysail. An AB aluminum inflatable with 8-horsepower outboard hangs from stainless steel davits. Two solar panels generate approximately 500 watts to maintain battery charge while unattended at dock or anchor.
